Former Tenant

Over 4 years ago

I wouldn't move here if you want a livable space

Former Tenant

Pros:

Neighbors are great
It's an alright block not too much happens here

Cons:

If you want water pouring through your ceiling, and walls, and heaters, for years the owner will never fix the structural cracks in this building since 1995. This Landlord does not care. There are pests mice roaches. A lot of water damage & mold in this building in a lot of the apartments.They will evade responsibility despite the number of tenants who have taken them to court. Eventually the tenants got tired of this and moved.

Advice to owner:

Stop being cheap & fix this building. There are elderly people who live here and children. Stop lying on the tenants when everyone who lives here knows the truth about the building conditions.

Over 4 years ago

Lead paint issue

Former Tenant

Pros:

Neighborhood is ok

Cons:

Everything was wrong

Over 4 years ago

City takes over HDFC building

Former Tenant

Pros:

It was always maintained, there was a control on roaches and mice, tenants use to get there apartments fixed at a timely manner. Everyone’s intercoms worked. Always hot water with pressure.

Cons:

Banana Kelly building manager does not respond to ANYTHING. You send her messages of things that need to be fixed in your apartment and they never get fixed, I’ve been waiting for my intercom to get fixed for 3 years and still nothing, I’ve asked for a paint job and nothing. Building manager jots down the complaints of tenants and does NOTHING to resolve the issues in the apartment. Mailboxes have been broken for 3 years. They took over 3 yrs ago and the building has gone downhill, since. Many tenants do not have Leases, and they continue to charge rent. Banana Kelly horrible building management.

Advice to owner:

We will continue to report you, until something is done.
